texte = I tried looking through the archives and the documentation for this but didn't come up with anything... so apologies if this is a real newbie question, but I'm confused.I want to take the output from StoreBuilder and adapt it to a sale that I'm already running on Filemaker. My database has a couple of critical fields that aren't part of the (product?) database in WebCatalog. In particular, I need to put artist and title fields into the database (I sell records and cd's), and modify the corresponding templates.Thing is, I can't figure out where the definitions for the products database are stored. I've looked through all the .db, .inc and .tpl files generated by StoreBuilder, and found where my products are stored, but not where that database is defined.Is this possible? Is there documentation on how databases are defined? I've read (twice) the User's Guide, Tutorial and Programmer's Guide but I don't see anything about how databases are defined, structured, maintained, backed up, etc. As a real-life DBA (DB2,UDB,SQL Server, Filemaker) this is driving me crazy. I just want to do an Alter Add Table... command, or at least go into a text file and add my new fields, though I haven't a clue how I would modify the small amount of data I've already entered into WebCatalog to adhere to that new structure.Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks! philz ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
